Search function fails to find background URLs

Recommended Posts

I noticed a case where there were duplicate postings about a YouTube skydiving video. The second poster should have checked whether such a thread already existed.

But then I noticed that he would not have found the original thread if he had done a search.

Searches will find words "out in the open", eg, any of the text in http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=yF7mle0ZD70.

But it won't find a 'background' URL in other clickable text.
E.g., "Check out this vintage parachute video here. ", which has the same URL information.

While I don't have to deal with the programming, the search function should find such content too, to better reflect what people actually entered in their posts.
